The Adventure of Pinocchio (2025)
An illustrated chapter from Carlo Collodi’s The Adventure of Pinocchio, created with Ecoline ink, India ink, and dip pen.
Inspired by Renaissance storybook illustrations I found in Italian museums, I returned to analog methods and focused on using delicate linework and decorative composition, while mixing in a Tim Burton inspired visual language to reinterpret the characters.
